I bought this without reading the reviews (silly me)
Viewed the video and looked fairly easy.I agree with many reviews however:
My wall was not bad, but I wanted to emulsion it so needed to get out minor indents and smooth minor rough areas.
Expensive product and even worse value roller and spreader kit.
Product falls off roller. It dries much too quickly when using the spreader and the spreader picks up any bits of grit and puts a deep scratch in the finish. small sections did not stick to wall, so left holes. Other areas left furrows. I found it almost impossible to get a satisfactory flat finish. I tried damping and sponging which improved things, but not a lot.
I am not going to make it worse, so will employ a plasterer, which I was trying to avoid. Skimming with plaster myself could not be any harder or give a worse finish
I bought Polycell because of their DiY reputation. Money wasted.
